Dan Mullen and his staff have done their best work in recruiting during the summer. The coaches put a lot of emphasis on players coming to campus and camping during the summer months so that they're able to evaluate those prospects early and have a solid grasp of what they're getting from those players.

MSU came into the summer with only around 12-15 spots available due to a very small senior class and a couple of scholarships lost to the Will Redmond sanctions. After a small bit of attrition, a couple of spots have opened up and there could be players choosing to move on next year as well opening up even more. MSU filled most of their spots in the summer with just five commits since the start of the season bringing the Bulldogs to a total of 19 as it stands.
